**SIGH** Let's start at the beginning. We got a new puppy on Saturday. We are going to start breeding pomeranians. Monday, I took him to the elementary school to show. He did fantastic! His name is Chai Tea.

In the afternoon, we take all of our dogs to get their shots. We get home and let them run out back! Well, kids came home and we forgot about them. My son who is out front came in and said ALL the dogs are running in the front yard! Sasha had dug out of the yard. Well, Kevin goes running and our new puppy, Iluq (EEluck) got hit by a car! Ran him to a vet and he was in shock, so they couldn't do surgery. The next day they did exrays and he dislocated his hip, and fractured where his growth plate is. Not Good. They had to anesthetize him to suture him up. His entire pad of his paw and been almost torn off. We finally got him home Tuesday evening.

Wednesday we drove to Lebanon to look at a new pup, and it will be a couple weeks before we can have her. Anyway, Kevin came with me and he got a cold that morning. By 3:00 PM I have a full blown cold.

Thursday, my cold has completely taken over my entire head. I have gone through an entire box of kleenex in 1 day!

This entire week I haven't lost any weight. I go for a fill next Tuesday and I won't have lost any! I'm very discouraged! I haven't been able to exercise all week due to the puppy and me being sick. I'm just ticked at myself for not eating correctly. I journal every day and stay within my limits for the most part. I don't know what to do!

The pictures are of my new little Chai and iluq who got hit by a car!

Oh, I can't take it...those cute little faces just melt my heart! I love my Shih Tzu's and can't imagine life without them!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name.

So sorry about Iluq...hope it gets better!

Poor puppy! So cute! Your puppy stories remind me of having a baby in the house...need lots of great care! Hope he's better soon.

i hate weeks like that. Sickness and stress. Bad combination, but it's life isn't it. We have to learn to go with the flow and forgive ourselves, but, somehow not turn to food to do it.

Found these...hope it cheers you up. -BG

I just love my little cousins you are so cute. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for both of you. I ate a box of tissue today and my mom was so mad at me. imluckydog
